personalized medicine is used to learn about a person’s genetic makeup and how their tumor grows. using this data, doctors hope to find prevention, screening, and treatment strategies that may be more effective. they also want to find ones that cause fewer side effects than the standard treatments. by performing more genetic tests, doctors may customize treatment to each patient’s needs.
in uprecision, 60 genes that are relevant to the therapeutic effect/toxic and side effect of chemotherapeutic drugs as well as the susceptibility/resistance of targeted drugs will be tested simultaneously. it will help doctors make treatment decision for patients with cancer and match the patients with relevant targeted therapeutic options.
